Michael Leworthy presents a modern approach to data management designed for intelligence, agility, and scale. He emphasizes that traditional storage systems are failing and need to be reinvented to support current challenges such as AI, cybersecurity, and massive data growth.

Michael compares driving a car to managing legacy storage systems: both require constant attention and maintenance. He introduces the concept of the Enterprise Data Cloud provided by Pure Storage, which offers a unified, self-service, automated storage solution. This platform ensures security, reduces costs, and improves operational efficiency across private and public cloud environments.

Michael explains that Pure Storage's unique architecture -- built on an Evergreen model and supporting multiple environments -- delivers consistent data services and improves overall performance and scalability. He concludes by highlighting Pure Storage's industry leadership and urging businesses to adopt modern data management approaches to remain competitive and achieve faster insights.
